Have a user used Outlook 2000.
When she started it up, it took almost 5 minutes to start
I tried pretty much all I know to repair the issue, new profile, new PST
etc.
Eventually, I uninstalled that version, and tried Office XP, and the version
of Outlook did the same thing.
Any ideas how this can be resolved short of wiping the drive?
Any install I do, "imports" the settings.
Thanks,
JM.
 
Non, I disabled, uninstalled all the extras.
Got down to just the basic OS, and added Outlook.
I wanted to remove all remnants, as it seems there is always something for
it to "import"
I did look through the registry to try and remove it all, after using
Control Panel to uninstall it.
When I install Outlook (even free standing version) it looks to "import
settings"

I pared it down to 26 MB.
I ended up renaming/adding PST file, then removing Office and cleaning
registry of any/all Outlook remnants, and reinstalling the Office package.
Once I reinstalled Office again, I added the old PST as a personal folder
for access when needed.
All seems to be working ok now.
Thanks
